llA*otD.—Jim Toombs, negro, was banged
at Terry, Houston county, on Friday last, for
killing another negro who was working with
him in a field, about seven months ago. Wbon
on tLe gallows he gave the negroes present some
good advice. He told them to throw away their
firearms l*e indoalriona and obey the laws. He
said that having no master and a pistol, bad
bronght him to the gallows.
Takrch Accideht.—Miss Anna D. Bnlkley,
dnoghter of Mr. E. C. Bnlkley, of this city, was
thrown from a baggy near Sparta, on Snnday
sftemoon last, and sustained very painful inju
ries thereby; among others, her collar-bono was
fractured. Her father went aftor her yesterday,
but her physician and friends thought it would
be imp'rndent to move her for several days.
She lay perfectly nnconsoions for two hours
after the accident. She was resting easier yes
terday, and it is hoped she will soon recover.
Acctiov San* op ihk Ells’ Saloon.—That
elegant and magnificently famished establish
ment on Mulberry stroet, known as tho Eils’
Saloon and Restaurant, was sold at public out
cry yeaterdey morning, by CoL B. B. Clayton,
auctioneer. The sale was well attended, and the
majority of those present were there os bidders,
lienee, nearly everything offered brought n
satisfactory price, the principal bidder being
Ur. W. P. Carlos, who bought nearly the whole
of the establishment, and will ran it as hereto
fore. The fast and celebrated stallion, “Climax,”
was hid in by Mr. Charlie Ells at §1,000. The
aalo of the fanoy and family grocery, nnder the

sold for division among the heirs of the late
Henry N. Ella.
Ills Roost Bobbjcd.—Dr. Mason's chicken
crop was the objective point of attack of some
negro thief on Monday night last. He was
robbed of fourteen fine Cochin China fowls.
Fortunately, tho Doctor arose early yesterday
morning, and discovered his loss, and imme
diately sent ont a runner or two to intercept
the thief or prevent him from disposing of the
fowls by sale, and in an hour or two it was as
certained that tho thief bad sold them to Bare-
fleld & Co., bnt before the Doctor called at tho
store, nearly all of the fowls bad been sold. The
names of the purchasing parties wero ascer
tained, and they cheerfully gave them up and
had their money returned, with one exception,
which was, that three of tho chickens had been
ate for breakfast. So the Doctor recovered
eleven of the fourteen stolen.
An Overland Trip from Macon to Clbve-
lakb, Tinn. From Capt. Cowles, a member of
the party of railroad gontlemen who left this
city on the 13th nib, to go over the proposed
line of the Ocmnlgee and North Georgia Rail
road, as recently surveyed, we get a few inter
esting dots in regard to the cborography of the
country, its scenery, mineral wealth, crops,
etc. The first night ont was spent in Clinton,
nnder theroof of that hospitable gentleman, Mr.
Kingsman. From there tho party passed over
a fine ridge to Monticello, and thenco to Cov
ington—the crops along the route looking well.
The party spent the third night at the Coving
ton Hotel, and are stroDg in praise of the ex
cellent accommodations extended. From Cov
ington, they passed over a ridge route, inter-
sported at times with beanlifni natural scenery,
to Lswreneevilie. Along the' route crops were
looking well and the farmers were bard at work.
From Lawreneeville to the Air Line Railroad
was the next move; and here, in the distance,
the party got its first view of the Blue Ridge.
From this point to Dawsonville, Dawson connty,
the lice of the Ocmnlgeo and North Georgia
Railroad begins to run through tho mountains,
and the scenery to assume grand, beautiful
and impressive character. At Dawsonville one
can see the AmarcoUa Falls, at a distance of 15
miles, and the rainbows formed by tho spray
present an exquisitely beautiful scene. From
Dawsonville to EUijay, Gilmer connty, was
the next move-, and between theso two points
oar informant represents the natural scenery
as indescribably grand. The road passes within
ana mile of the Armacolla Falls, and as they
are’ approached, the tourist is enchanted by
their marie and magnificence. The water leaps
in sparkling beauty from the crest of a preci-
pies 600 feet high and fifty wide, forming the
loveliest, yet most sublime cascade on the con
tinent. Tho valley lauds are very rich and_
worth $-'.0 per acre. Here minerals of all
kinds abound, not even excepting the diamond
—one of wLich our informant saw, in a rough
state, and worth abont §200. The oorn in this
valley ia magnificent. All through the Anna-
eoUa Gap the scenery is surpassingly grand and
beautiful, and sparkling cascades give it life on
every mountain side. Ellijay is the oonnty-site
of Gilmer county, and will be a thriving town
when the Dalton and Ellijay Railroad, running
through to Murphy, N. C., and the Marietta
Railroad, are finished. Tho valley of the Elli
jay river ia beantifal. It is about twenty miles
loDg and one in widih. From Ellijay the parly
proceeded along the line of the road on which
they left Macon, to Ducktown, a distance of
thirty miles. The road winds along the sides
of tho mountains, and on either hand tho
scenery continues grand. In these mountains
are imbedded all kinds of minerals, and various
kinds of marblo and slate. The view, as one
arrives at the summit of tho ridge near Duck-
town, is grand in the extreme. It appears like
some mighty basin formed by the mountains,
and in it are extensive smelting works that are
doing a heavy business. From Ducktown the
party proceeded to Cleveland, Tenn. Along this
route the naiaral scenery surpasses in wild
ness, grandeur and sublimity all that we have
yet alluded to. The lino of tho road lies
through what is known as the “Tecowah
Pass,” taking its name from the river by
that name which runs through the mountain
gorge at that point. The copper company
have graded a road on the margin of .the
Tecowah river for twenty miles, and it is
cut through solid rock in many places. There
are many wonderful natural cariosities to bo
found in Ibis Pass. Among others, that of the
"Weeping Rock,” taking its name from the fact
that drops of water are ever trickling down
through the pores of the rock. The “Hanging
Rock” is another wonnderfnl object of interest
to the traveler, as are also the innumerable
mono tain cascades, the magnificent forest trees,
etc. The Tecowah River through this Pass pos
sesses immense water power. It falls for 20
miles, ranging from one to twenty feet per mile,
and is abont 300 feet wido. The Pass is walled
in by immense mountains, and is heavily tim-
berod. It is well worth a long journey to Beo
the Tecowah Paas, and inhale its pure, cool and
invigorating atmosphere. Tho “Half Way
House," between Ducktown and Cleveland, is
well kept, and along the ronto the crops just
now are looking splendidly—particularly the
oorn. Hero aro numerous fine farm buildings,
splendid horses, mnles, cattle and sheep. The
people aro intelligent, tbiifty and hardy, and as
hospitable as any in the world. Thoy have re
cently turned their attention to the raising of
clover and timothy, and Captain Cowles says he
saw clover there full three feet high, and very
thick over a 100 acre field. Everybody was bard
at work, and tho people seemed to bo hopeful
of tho future and thriving. Cleveland is a bean-
tifal town on tho East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia Railroad. Tho honsc-s are bnilt mostly
of brick, and tho streets are wide and clean; and
business brisk.
In conclusion, onr informant says tho peoplo
along the wholo route were orderly and polite,
kindly famishing guides, and were willing and
anxions to make tho trip of the party pleasant
and enjoyable. Tho party returned by railroad
to this city on the 28th nit, having made the
round trip in 18 days.

Synopsis of Weather Statement.
War Dep’t, Office Chief Signal Officer,^
Washington, D. C., August 1, 7:40 p. m. )
The barometer has varied but little at the
Pacific and Rocky Mountain stations since
Monday afternoon. It remains low from Lake
Huron to Mississippi and westward. Rainy or
threatening weather has prevailed to-day on the
coast of Texas, as well as from Missouri to Wis
consin. The barometer bas risen from Penn
sylvania northward and eastward. The tem
perature has risen slightly in the interior, bnt
elsewhere has not materially changed except at
a few isolated points. Clondy and threatening
weather is reported this afternoon from Key
West, and from North Carolina to New Jersey,
as also in Northern Ohio. Rain has been re
ported since Monday from Virginia to Massa
chusetts and local rains from Michigan to Min
nesota.
Probabilities: The low barometer will proba
bly continue in Iowa on Wednesday, and local
storms are probable for to-day from Missouri
nortwhards. Similar storms of larger dimen
sions are probably now extending from Vir
ginia and Ofto northeastward. No important
general change in the weather is indicated fur
Wednesday.
Washington, Augnst 1.—The Patriot pub
lishes an authorized reportof the evidence taken
by the sub-Ku-klnx Committee, furnished by
Hon. P. YanTrump. The statement published
in the Star is pronounced untrue in many es
sential particulars, and facts perverted in oth
ers, with the view of producing a false and par
tisan impression. The testimony Bhows that
there are four counties, viz : Laurens, Chester,
York and Spartanburg, where acts of violence
have been committed on both sides. The
whites and blacks are nearly equally divided in
population, and the carpet-bag rale, by which
the negro is forcibly pnt over the white man,
has produced a bad and even a dangerons
state of feeling. The poor whites are mostly
aggrieved by an oppression which i9 intended
to make them the inferior of the recent slaves,
steeped in ignorance and vice. Everything has
been done to aggravate the laboring whites, and
to outrage tho social condition of their families.
It is in proof that tho negroes, disguised as Ku-
klux, committed many outrages. The testimo
ny given by tho negroes was of tha lowest
kind, and utterly unworthy of belief. Many
were attracted by the per diem of $2 per day.
The statement concludes as follows:
There is no political feeling of any kind in
the nnfortnnato disturbances which havo occur
red in these few counties of Sonth Carolina.
They result from maladministration, corrup
tion, robbery, carpetbagism, and especially
among the poor laboring white men from a
wicked purpose on the part of _ tho authorities
and Legislature to assist black ‘supremacy and
degrade them with negro rale. That is with
them, perhaps, the real and most serious
difficulty. It is a question of race which,
as Sonth Carolina Is now administered and
sustained by Federal power, threatens the
grara|^^onseqnences. The white mechanic
when ho finds the worst crime pro-
tectWWS pardoned, the law an engine of per
secution, and political power abnsed in order to

Billiocssessand Indigestion.—These two com
plaints aro more general at this season of the year
than at almost any other. Thoy aro closely akin;
for biliousness always involves an impaired diges
tion, and indigestion ia necessarily an accompani
ment of a disordered or torpid liver. Happy the
man or woman who can boast of a stomach that
has never felt the horrors of dyspepsia, and to
whom that great secretive agent, the liver, has
novor given pain or trouble. Not one in a thousand
can lay claim to entire immunity from irregularity
in these organs. How. then, shall they bo regu
lated? Not by powerful catharthica, alternated
with ordinary stimulants, bnt by a medicinal invig-
orant. like Hostetler’s Stomach Bitters, which com
bine, in due proportion, the tonic and the alterative
principle. Wherever there is a church, a school-
house, and a genoral store, this famous medicino
may bo procured No village merchant finds it
prudent to he without it, for it is inquired for every
day by every class. Tho workiDgman buys it be
cause it increases his capacity for toil, and ia fol
lowed by no reaction. The effect of the salubri
ous roots, herbs, etc, of which it is composed, dif
fused through his system by tho pure stimulant
which forms the basis of the Bitters, is most health
ful and invigorating. The scholar, the merchant,
and, in fact, all men whose minds or bodies, or
both, are in constant exercise, will derive benefit
from its use. To persons of sedentary habits it
supplies, in somo measure, that activity in the cir
culation which is obtained by physical exertion, and
is the best known remedy for constipation.
Ask for Hoatetter’a Stomach Bitters, and do not
becoaxod into purchasing any of tho imitations
and frauds sometimes offered in its stead

Chills and Fever seem to ho tho order of theday,
but such is not the case with those who take our
Tonic Liver Bitters.
In onr Southern climate, tho eystem is constantly
absorbing malarious poison, tiie first effects of
wbicb are to stupify tlie Liver; costiveness comes
next; coated tongue, dull feeling of langor, head
ache—soon to be followed by a chilly sensation and
burning fever. To prevent this, keep your Livtr
stimulated w.th some good vegetable medicino, and
the TUNIO LIVER BITTERS is better for it than
anything. Incorporated in it aro Cun-h-ma Bark.
Gentian and other valuable vegetable tonics.
The doso is from a tablespoonful to a wine glass
full two or three times a day, or often enough to
prodace a healthy action on the bowels The Bitters
should only be taken when you need them, aud
your feelings will tell you when.
